Chapter 1713: Beiping Old Dream: Beauty and Actress Overwhelm the Boss 27

They talked about the collection of poems for a long time.

"I later found out it was your name on it."

Pei Yiqing did not sit down, but just stood against the wall, looking at Xu Nanchun with a look of inexplicable guilt in his eyes.

"When we were in Shanghai, Xiao Bofeng never mentioned you."

If he had known from the beginning about the existence of Xu Nanchun, he would never have started a relationship with Xiao Bofeng.

"I know."

Xu Nanchun reached out and tapped the table lightly, stroking the crossed-out name with his fingertips, and responded slowly, "He didn't take me seriously, so he naturally couldn't have mentioned me."

But Pei Yiqing always felt that his heart was not in it, and asked with a puzzled look: "What do you want to say?"

"I……"

Xu Nanchun lowered his eyes and stared at the pocket watch in his palm, estimating the time of the auction in his mind, and never raised his eyes to look at Pei Yiqing.

"I want to ask you, why can you let it go so easily?"

"My sister-in-law said that the new love should not only be about mutual affection, but also about mutual loyalty."

Pei Yiqing said firmly and looked at Xu Nanchun carefully again.

"You know, when I was studying abroad, I witnessed many Western-style weddings. They swore during the wedding ceremony that they would guarantee love and fidelity regardless of poverty or wealth, health or illness."

"Besides, I don't agree with or even hate Xiao Bofeng's ideas."

Hearing this, Xu Nanchun clenched the hand holding the pocket watch, thought about what Xiao Bofeng was going to do at the auction today, struggled to close his eyes, and clenched his teeth tightly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Pei Yiqing saw that he was about to have a seizure, and approached him blankly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Go back to the auction house."

Xu Nanchun suddenly grabbed Pei Yiqing's arm and spoke bitterly in a low voice, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"The auction items are fake. They want to give all the real antiques and banknotes to the British garrison. Bo Feng asked me to hold you back."

Pei Yiqing looked at him in shock, "What..."

"Oops!"

Pei Yiqing knew about Jin Luyi's matter, and his heart sank. He hurried out, but turned back a few seconds later, "No, Xiao Bofeng asked you to hold me back, so you..."

"Come with me, my brother can protect you."

Xu Nanchun sat back, shook his head and turned sideways. His thin and weak back revealed loneliness. "Forget it, let me take a gamble."

Having been with Xiao Bofeng for two years, he had been cautious in every step and almost offended Mr. Pei. If he was really disliked because of this incident, he would have to accept his fate.

Pei Yiqing didn't have time to hesitate and left without looking back.

At the same time, at the auction.

There should be 40 minutes of rest and adjustment time before the last auction item. Half an hour before the break, Sun Fu suddenly crossed his seat and asked Pei Yinnian to leave early, saying that he was not feeling well.

Pei Yinnian looked at him and nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Sun Fu's men came to Pei Yinnian with bent waists, "President, our master said that there was a problem with the auction items donated by the Chamber of Commerce, and we need you to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinchen looked down at his watch. There were still 60 minutes before the last auction item began.

The golden brocade dress was just transported to Beiping for auction today. There were many eyes watching it secretly. The Xiao family probably didn't have time to cheat, so they wanted to use the last time to find an opportunity to exchange it.

"Brother, take me with you." Jinchen held Pei Yinnian's hand with a smile that made people feel at ease.

Pei Yinnian nodded, and stood up and left at the same time as Jinchen. When they walked around the seats, they looked at Yun Cunxuan, who smiled and nodded, knowing what was going on.

"They've left." The bodyguard wearing a black hat at the auction table pressed the intercom, "Go and inform Master San."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked warily towards the audience but saw nothing. He looked suspiciously for a long time before leaving through the secret door.

Yun Cunxuan, who had already gone behind the auction table, quickly followed.

The auction is still going on, with huge sums of money being spent in the lively bidding. The continuous bidding by foreigners has stimulated the fighting spirit of the patriotic businessmen, making it even more lively than the opening.

The corridor outside the auction hall on the fourth floor.

The golden colored lights and decorations made people dizzy. Because there were two gambling halls next door, there were a lot of people in the narrow corridor. If you were not careful, you would easily get lost from the people around you.

Jinchen and Pei Yinnian held hands all the time, following the subordinates who led the way. The further they went, the more remote the place became, and the more people passed by them.

Finally, they stopped outside a door. The subordinate paused, looking at Jinchen as if he was about to say something, then bowed respectfully to Pei Yinnian and said, "President, this is about the auction items of the Chamber of Commerce. It would be better if people outside the Chamber of Commerce did not go in."

"What if I insist on going in?" Jin Chen replied with a smile, not letting go of Pei Yinnian's hand. His sharp and cold eyes made his subordinates dare not look directly at him, and they could only glance into the darkness.

But before the message could be passed on, Pei Yinnian held the gun against his waist and abdomen, making it difficult to see.

The subordinate stiffened and slowly lowered his head.

"Open the door."

Pei Yinnian's voice was cold and emotionless.

He took a deep, controlled breath, turned the handle and pushed the door open.

Just as they entered the room, the subordinates gritted their teeth and tried their best to ignore the muzzle of the gun against their abdomen. When Pei Yinnian realized something was wrong and was about to shoot, they pushed them hard inside and closed the heavy door against the entrance.

boom!

The bullet shot by Pei Yinnian still penetrated through the crack in the door at the last moment. The man covered his stomach and fell to the ground.

But the door was already closed, and the person hiding in the dark waiting for news cut off the power in the room when he heard the gunshots.

He rushed out from the corner, dragged away the body of his subordinate and locked the door.
